There's plenty of sprite websites I'm sure have to have some hardcore Chrono fans that would love to help out.
Or, the very painful method, of getting the tilesets we already have and placing them to form the maps. ONE SQUARE AT A TIME.

If you can, then just run through each map and take screenshots, and compile them in photoshop. If I can find an emulator/rom and figure out how to turn off the sprite layer, I'll do it after these palette swaps and crochet project.

Its Desmume. But you'd need the NOSSE version in order to actually do it.

I may be able to rip them, though it may take time.

Edit: Although, if I can figure out how to rip them. Desmume has a background viewer tool, but it doesn't show the entire background, just part of it, and it's scrambled. I could do it the old-fashioned printscreening way, but that's going to take time to edit off all the sprites and objects etc.
